Expression of interest to provide Sail Training

We are seeking expressions of interest from experienced operators or organisations to provide sail training opportunities for local trainees.

The programme provides several sailing opportunities throughout the season, which runs from March to October. These range from ‘come and try it’ for complete novices, through to longer sails on a tall ship or other vessels.
